Hab. Sierra Leone (Mabille) ; Gaboon (Good). 
The only specimen of the female which I have ever seen is 
contained in my collection, and was taken at Batanga, Cameroons. 
It does not differ materially from the male, save that there is an 
additional translucent spot upon the fore wing in cell 1, and the 
large white spot on the underside of the secondaries is much larger 
than in the male, extending farther outwardly and inwardly.

d. The type of this species was a female contained in the 
collection of Dr. Staudinger. The collection also contains a male, 
which differs from the female on the upperside in lacking the spot 
in the cell of the primaries, and in having, in the example before 
me, the uppermost of the three subapical spots obsolete. In 
the secondaries, the spots at the end of the cell which are con- 
spicuous in the female on the underside.and faintly appear on the 
upperside are also lacking, and the discal spots are somewhat 
smaller than in the female. 
Hab. French Congo (Mocquerys).

Q. Palpi on the upperside, head, thorax, and abdomen on the 
upperside black, clothed with fuscous scales. Palpi on the under- 
side whitish; thorax and anal extremity of the abdomen pale 
fuscous. Primaries black on the upperside, with two widely 
separated minute elongated spots near the end of the cell, two 
subapical spots in the usual position, and a discal series of four 
spots, the lowermost of the series on interval 1 cuneiform, the 
next on interval 2 subquadrate, and the largest of the series, and 
the two succeeding ones on intervals 3 and 4, subquadrate, the last 
smaller than the one preceding it. The secondaries beyond the 
cell are adorned with a broad irregularly curved white macular 
band, running from before the end of the cell inwardly and 
widening to vein 16. The primaries on the underside are black, 
with the spots as on the upperside.- The secondaries are creamy 
white, with the outer margin broadly black, There is a con-
